<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black;background:white">Editors and writers know that talking about implicit bias in an article can be tricky but essential, especially in a "post-truth" world, and can ultimately lead to more inclusive and accurate content.
Among researchers, talk of bias in the role of peer review for scholarly communication continues to include diverging opinions and demands for change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
